Oscillatory Rheology and Surface Water Wave Effects on Crude Oil and Corn Oil Gels with (R)‐12-Hydroxystearic Acid as Gelator

چکیده
The mechanical properties of films of gels composed of a crude oil or corn oil and (R)-12-hydroxystearic acid are described using oscillatory rheology and water-surface waves. The integrity of these gel films are contrasted with those of neat oil films subjected to the same types of mechanical testing. The oil-based gels are thixotropic, and we quantify their post-recovery yield. A simple model is proposed to describe the loss of integrity when the gels are subjected to high amplitude surface waves. Our technique provides a novel method for quantifying the role of dynamic surface perturbations on the mechanics of viscoelastic films, providing an illustrative model system for testing coagulants and dispersants designed to mitigate oil spills.

Oil spills from tanker or oil well have detrimental effects on environment and economy. One of the most economical and efficient methods for oil spill clean-up is mechanical extraction by sorbents which are not only the safest methods but also the least expensive of spill control. The potential use of agricultural by-products such as corn silk for adsorbent of crude oil from water systems was p...

As a physiochemical property, asphaltenes are known to be one the most surface active compounds in crude oil. Due to such property, their behavior is most probably influenced by fluid-fluid interactions at the contact surface (interface). Potentially and naturally, in most cases, water is in contact with crude oil and is co-produced with it as well. Considering that asphaltene molecules are pol...

A series of phthalic acid derivatives (P) with a carbon-chain tail was designed and synthesized as single-component gelators. A combination of the single-component gelator P and a non-gelling additive n-alkylamine A through acid-base interaction brought about a series of novel phase-selective two-component gelators PA. The gelation capabilities of P and PA, and the structural, morphological, th...
